Chapter 12

"So Aiden you're finally awake."

"Ugh!… my head hurts," Aiden complained. Seeing Glen, "why the hell did you hit me?"

"Because you wouldn't come quietly and as far as I'm concerned hitting you was the least I wanted to do."

"Glen! I'll handle this," Arthur said. "So Aiden do you know why I had you brought here? And don't insult my intelligence with a stupid answer."

"I… I um…" Aiden stuttered. "Yes Aiden."

"Yes, it's about the reports you wanted yesterday and didn't get."

"And why didn't I get them Aiden, after I specifically told you to have them on my desk yesterday morning."

"The reports are on my desk and ready for you to look at, I just didn't get them to you I got a little busy yesterday."

"Busy… busy with what Aiden? A woman perhaps? She got you pussy whipped already? Is that why you can't even get me a simple report? I hope you enjoyed it?"

"Arthur please let me explain, she's forcing me to do it."

"Who is she and what is she forcing you to do Aiden?"

"Her name is Carmen Sanchez." Aiden answered.

"Carmen Sanchez, she's an agent for the U.S. Treasury Department?" "Yes."

"See dad I told you!" "Quiet Glen let Aiden talk."

"They're trying to get proof that Carlin Enterprises is laundering money through customs to different parts of the country. I gave her a phony report that showed Carlin Enterprises was laundering about two million dollars through South African customs when in actuality it's really ten million dollars."

"Why are you giving an agent for the treasury department information on Carlin Enterprises and why are you doing it without talking to me first Aiden?" Arthur asked.

"I don't know I was scared. They approached me last month threatening me."

"Threatening you with what?"

"I haven't been paying my taxes and I owe one million dollars in back taxes, so they propositioned me. If I become an informant for them they would forget about the taxes I owe and not send me to jail."

"So you risk getting killed instead of going to jail." Arthur asked.

"Yes I can't do jail Arthur. I can't… I might as well be dead."

"You think she's satisfied with what you gave her?" "I don't know I haven't talk to her since I gave her the report."

"Well I don't…you know very well Aiden, that information you gave them if that is what you gave them is not going to be enough. They will want more. What are you going to do, sell us out?" Arthur asked.

"No! No! I would never do that Arthur."

"You already have Aiden. I trusted you. I've known your family for many years. Your father's like a brother to me and this is how you repay me. Why didn't you tell me about your tax problems? I could have helped you out."

"She told me repaying the government back was not going to be enough to keep me from going to jail. If I paid them the monies owed, I would still go to jail on tax evasion charges. They had a noose around my neck."

"Yes and they still do. Aiden I need… no I demand your loyalty."

"You have it Arthur," Aiden said.

"When that agent contacts you again I want to know everything, do you understand me?"

"Yes sir."

"I don't care what time of day or night it is, you let me know immediately, when she contacts you again."

"When? What makes you think she's going to contact me again, I gave her what she wanted?"

"Aiden she will contact you again, you can be sure of that and when she does I want to know." Arthur said now a little irritated. "Yes sir I will let you know as soon as she contacts me."

"Clay will take you home. I'll see you at work tomorrow morning. Stay home today and get some rest Aiden."

"Thank you Arthur. I won't let you down I promise."

"I want your loyalty Aiden not promises," Arthur said as Aiden and Clay were leaving the warehouse.

"Dad what are you going to do? You can't trust him anymore," Glen said.

"Yes I know but I can't kill him yet either. He's their informant and if he suddenly disappears or dies what signal do you think that will send to our treasury agent."

"Well we can't continue to let Aiden have information on the business."

"Yes we can. We are a legitimate business Glen. We have numerous legitimate accounts and those are the ones Aiden will be working on from now on. You and Clay will handle the rest. If he tells this agent there are no more money laundering accounts maybe that will shut her investigation down. The treasury department is not going to waste their time on two million dollars. I want homing devices placed on his cars. Phone taps at his home and in his office and get your people to assign someone to watch Aiden's coming and goings. I want to know when he goes to the bathroom to pee. Get started on that now Glen. I'll get your sister to start cleaning up Carlin Enterprise's image."

"Yeah I heard Spencer was coming to work with us, that's great. It's about damn time."

"Yes Glen I agree. Oh, one other thing, have you had a chance to deal with Tony?"

"Not yet but I know where he's staying. He'll be dealt with in a few days." "Glen I want someone on Franklin as well. He might be a problem for Spencer to divorce."

"That wimp," Glen said. "Those are the ones you need to watch Glen. He may be quiet and meek and maybe gay but he's not stupid."

It's Spencer's first day working at her father's import/export business. She's in her office with Ashley going over insurance papers and tax forms.

"Spencer you need to fill out this W2 and than these health insurance forms. Than we need to make you a key card/badge so you can have access to the different areas in the building," Ashley said.

Spencer was not listening to the voice that was speaking, her mind was on the person. "You healed quite nicely over the weekend Ashley you look as beautiful as ever," Spencer said.

Ashley blushed, "thank you I had some tender loving care over the weekend," bending down to give Spencer a quick kiss on her lips.

Glen decided to go by and visit his sister in her new office. "Hey sis, I thought I'd come by to welcome you on your first day at Carlin Enterprises. Wow! Nice digs. Hey Ashley, how are you today?"

"Good morning Glen, I'm fine," Ashley replied back.

"Oh man! You have a TV in your office. Ashley why does Spencer get to have a TV in her office?"

"Because Spencer is Public Relations, she needs to be on top of the news when it happens," she explained.

Glen walks over to the TV and turns it on just in time to hear the business news report. "Look Spencer your picture's on TV." "What!" Spencer exclaimed. "Move Glen so the rest of us can see."

"Today Spencer Carlin-Pierce the daughter of entrepreneur Arthur Carlin recently promoted to chief editor of the weekend edition of The L.A.Times abruptly left her position at the newspaper to join her father's import/export business. Mrs. Carlin-Pierce will be heading the Public Relations dept. in her father's organization. As most people know Carlin Enterprises has been under government scrutiny for the past year regarding money laundering allegations but there has never been enough evidence to prove such allegations. I guess Mrs. Carlin- Pierce will be quite busy trying to clean up her father's company image, we wish her good luck."

"In other business news…"

"Turn it off Glen," Ashley said looking at Spencer. "You didn't tell me the paper had promoted you."

"It wasn't important Ashley. It's not what I wanted to do anyway."

"But it was chief editor, Spencer. What are you talking about not important? Glen can you please leave us alone?" Ashley asked. "Okay are you two going to christen the office by having some HOT sex on the couch that you have in your office and I don't have in mine?"

"GLEN!" Ashley shouted.

"Okay, okay I'm leaving. I'll see you later sis. Don't get too loud with the moans in here."

"Bye Glen," Spencer said chuckling at her brother.

Spencer got up from her chair walking towards Ashley… "Spencer you could have… hmpt!..." Ashley said being suddenly pushed back against the door. "Ashley I want to fuck you right here, right now, not talk about that stupid paper job."

She had Ashley pinned against the door ravishing her mouth and forcing her tongue inside, placing her thigh between Ashley's legs she pressed against Ashley's center which made Ashley involuntarily moan. "Hmm! Spencer!... we can't do…"

Spencer nuzzling at her lover's neck began sucking, than biting, licking. "Spencer… ughh… no please not here," Ashley struggled to said, trying to keep her hormones in check.

Spencer finally hearing her lover's pleads stopped her attack. "I'm sorry Ashley, I just lose control when I'm around you."

"It's… it's okay Spencer," Ashley said still breathless. "Why…why didn't you tell me about the promotion?"

"It was no big deal Ashley." "Spencer I know you don't want to work here. Tell Arthur you changed your mind."

"You know I can't do that." "Spencer your mother cannot be that bad to want me killed or hurt."

"My mother lives, eats and breathes high society. She will not be the butt of anyone's gossip. She works hard at being the envy of her society clan. If something should come out that she thinks could possibly be an embarrassment to her, she makes it or them disappear, with the help of either my father, brothers or both. I don't understand why she doesn't think having an affair with Aiden Dennison would not be an embarrassment to her. Especially if she gets caught. I guess it's far more embarrassing to have a gay daughter. A gay daughter whose left her husband to be with a woman. Truly scandalous. "

"Spencer I'm sure… what?" Ashley said shocked. "Paula's having an affair with Aiden. How do you know this?"

"My father told me." "Arthur told you and that doesn't bother him that Paula is cheating on him?"

"Apparently not, he just laughed."

"Well if she's so society conscious why would she have an affair? That would be an embarrassment to her if word got out and what was your father's purpose in telling you about your mother anyway? What has that have to do with us?"

"I suppose he was trying to remind me of how vicious she can be and if I want you in my life I had better get him on my side because she would get him to get rid of you."

"Spencer… should I be scared?" Ashley asked.

"No, you're safe from her as long as my father backs our relationship and I continue to work for him. Besides he likes your work. He's told me several times that you're the best executive assistant he's had in a very long time so he's not about to get rid of you and he trusts you. But that's why I have to stay here. I'm not going to live without you Ashley and if I can clean up the image of my father's company at the same time, what harm can me working here do?"

"I understand Spencer I won't mention it anymore. I can't get over the fact that your mother and Aiden are having an affair. Eww!" Ashley said. "What happen she couldn't get the pool boy to take care of her needs?"

"Why do you say that?" Spencer asked. "Anybody would be better than Aiden. He is such a prick, he's fucking your mother and he comes around annoying me like a dog in heat and he has a wife. No wonder he can't get his reports finished on time."

"Forget about Aiden and my mother. How long are you staying at work today Ashley?" Spencer said rubbing on Ashley's thigh. "Why? What do you have in mind?" Ashley said seductively.

"I want you. I want to take you home and make wild passionate love to you. It's been ages since we were last together."

"Spencer it was last night," Ashley said laughing. "You are a horny dog, Miss Spencer."

"Yes I am when it comes to being with you and you love it Miss Ashley." "Immensely," Ashley said giving Spencer a peck on her lips.

Ring, Ring!

"Hello!"

"Hello Aiden, it's Carmen, we need to talk."

"Carmen are you crazy, why are you calling me at work? Are you trying to get me killed? I told you to call me on my cell."

"Sorry about that but I want you to meet me at Jack's Hot Dog stand in one hour."

"But…" "No buts Aiden just be there. Bye."

/

"Spencer I thought we were going to lunch why are we here?" "I want you to see what I got us. Take my hand and close your eyes, no peeking I'll guide you," Spencer said.

"Spencer!" Ashley exclaimed. "Please Ashley, humor me."

"Fine!" They walked onto an elevator and got off on the twentieth floor. Walking a few feet forward, Ashley hears keys opening a door. "Okay you can open your eyes now."

Ashley looks around seeing a very large fully furnished loft. "Spencer who's place is this?" Ashley asks walking around looking. "Wow! This place is beautiful. Who lives here?"

"Come here Ashley, I want you to take a look at the view of the city from the balcony." Opening the sliding door and stepping out, Spencer smiles glancing in her lover's direction to see her reaction. "Wow! Just beautiful."

"Come on I want to show you the bedroom."

"Ahh! It's so huge," Ashley said in awe. "Yes I needed it large to fit the king size bed in it."

"You needed it large, Spencer again I ask whose place is this?" "Ours!"

"Ours?" Ashley questioned looking at Spencer. "Yes I bought it three days ago. I want you to live with me."

"But Spencer…" "Look Ashley you can't stay in that house where Tony can come and go as he pleases. You are not safe there and Franklin can have my house. I want us to start our lives new with our own things. I want us to be together now, we'll figure out what to do about Tony and Franklin's refusal to give us a divorce later."

"Please Ashley", Spencer says guiding Ashley backwards towards the bed, kissing her eyes, nose, than her lips murmuring her name, "Ashley…please live with me." As Ashley legs touching the edge of the bed, she falls back on it and Spencer falls on top of her.

Ashley puts her hands on Spencer's face looking into her eyes. "Ashley, I can't protect you while you're in Tony's house and I'm in mine. We can move your things in here tomorrow if not tonight… say yes."

"Spencer this is your place, I thought I…" "no Ashley this is our place, the loft is lease in both our names. Yours and mine, I want us to be a couple. We can move in right now all you need to do is get your belongings from your house." Ashley finally brings Spencer's lips down to hers and slowly kisses them. Caressing her lover's lower lip waiting for permission to enter Spencer's hot mouth. "Hmm!" Ashley moaned. Moving her hand along the sides of Spencer's body grabbing her ass and squeezing, pressing her into her more. Spencer kisses her lover's neck, licking the skin at the crook of her neck feeling the beating of her heart increase with each lick. "Can I bite you now Ashley?"

"Yes… Ahh!… Spencer," Ashley moans. Spencer raises her lover's skirt above her thighs and starts to caress the exposed skin rubbing circles with her fingertips. "Ashley don't play with me," Spencer said breathing now erratic. "Will you move in with me?" Ashley moaned feeling fingers now inside of her. "Ahh!… Spencer…" Spencer speeded up her ministrations on Ashley. "Ahh!... Yesss!" I… hmm, I'll move in… hmm… with you."

"Cum for me Ashley." "Spencer… Ahhh!"
